Does anybody have an idea about approximately when they will start processing October filers? Our priority date is October 7th and we were assigned to Texas. 

Texas currently has a processing time of 7 -8 months on average, so I’d say you’ll probably get a response May or June 2020.

Oh ok. My VJ timeline estimate is then end of March to beginning of April. But I don’t know how accurate that is. Hopefully everything moves quickly and all of the service centers pick up pace.

I sent in a application back in august but my credit card to charge expired in september and uscis told me to wait for it to come back. it still hasn't come back and i decided to just redo another one in october luckily and it shows it was receieved then and processing in texas service center oct 14th or so, no updates since. i really regret being lazy and hiring useless lawyers to do it when i lived abroad in asia since they basically did nothing and didn't know you could file these things online. oh well learned my lesson. sucks having to wait while wife and kid are abroad. good luck everyone
